This is pretty sudden. I hope you enjoy and it isn't planned, so yeah.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Ghoul.

What if it didn't start as it did in Tokyo Ghoul? Just what if Kaneki Ken no longer existed from that moment he woke up? What if this one eyed ghoul was also a human and had never got rid of what made him a human? What if 'regular' doctors operated on him found out that he was part ghoul? What if there was a strange hair phenomenon? Well, you're going to find out…

"Where am I?" He looked around, confused. He recognised the painful pang of antiseptics and the vague smell of blood which had made his stomach lurch but not like how he wanted to throw up. Quite the opposite as he felt so… hungry. Barely able to even open his eyes, he felt as if something was tugging at his left eye. The itch was unbearable but he could do nothing. His body felt like tonnes of lead and broken into a million pieces.

Just trying to recall what had even happened to him was nauseating.

"What happened again?" Bit by bit, the memories trickled back to him just as how he was able to move his body. He turned his wrists to see a long plastic tube connected to him. He couldn't remember what it was called. He twisted his neck to the side to see the clock beside him. It was early in the morning, the day after he had gone with Ms Rize. Ms Rize. Yes, she was a ghoul. She tried to devour him, yet he was still alive. How? He closed his eyes to think, only to have a long slumber before him.

"It's a phenomenon! Literally impossible, but yet it has happened!" said someone. The voices rang like bell's in his mind. He wished they would go away.

"He's conscious!" said the voice again.

"Oh be quiet!" said a different and feminine voice. Opening his eyes, Kaneki saw two doctors in front of him most likely talking about his condition. He tried opening his mouth to speak but was only able to speak in short bursts.

"Kan… ken?" said the woman. "Oh, you name is Kaneki Ken? Yes." He continued to speak but to find it was literally gibberish to both the doctors and himself.

"Do you mean what happened? Nod for yes," said the male doctor. Kaneki nodded. The doctor sighed and braced himself to tell him what happened.

"You were in a horrible accident. A large beam struck both, I'm assuming, your girlfriend and you. She has died and we had to immediately transfer organs to you, so we… well, used your girl's organs in order to save you. You were barely alive at that point," said the doctor.

A beam killed them? Yes, he remembered, but that came after he was bitten by her. He closed his eyes again wanting to drift off back to sleep and escape reality.

"Well, once you are well enough, you're able to be discharged." Kaneki nodded, wanting to be alone. Was it a mad dream that he was experiencing, or the brutal reality? He didn't know and didn't care anymore. He wanted to curl up and escape, run away, perhaps die and never feel the hurt ever again. He was scared, terrified, of what would happen once he leaves the 'safe' walls of the hospital. Was it even safe? He didn't know.

"Remember, he is a ghoul. We cannot disobey what we have agreed on," said the man. The woman solemnly nodded.

"It is our fault though."

"Whether he was originally a ghoul or we made him a ghoul, it is the world's fault for bringing those creatures here. He will be discharged tomorrow at the earliest and if he truly is a ghoul, he will be up and running tomorrow. Till then, we must be nice and follow our hospital rules for humans like us." The man reassured the woman who finally gave up and said there would be no fault for them.

"Let's go. I'll contact the jail for the ghouls so that the Ghoul Investigators can take him away."

"Yes. For today, we'll rest. The ghoul will sleep for the rest of the day in that condition due to the drug we installed in the machine," the man held out an arm for the woman to take as the doctor couple fled from the outside of the room of the ghoul.

Hope you enjoyed, and please leave a review, as it very appreciated!
